Architecture for Kids 2

About the Book

Architecture for Kids 2 is a book that shows an evolution in form and content. In Architecture for Kids 1, I used pictures instead of words to make learning easy and to help you exercise your brain’s ability to remember things. Architecture for Kids 2 was designed around the idea of design thinking. As explained in Architecture for Kids 1, design thinking helps architects to design with empathy -- that is, to find out how the design is to be used. If you have empathy with another person that means you can think the same way they do. It is empathy that helps architects understand what their clients need, and to remember that every part of a project has an impact on someone. Architecture is an art and a discipline that helps you transform your creativity and ideas into something real. This book is for you, future architect, or designer. If you decide to follow the architecture path, I can guarantee you that it is going to be an amazing journey!
